We have the responsibility and power to enforce breaches of planning control. The decision to enforce in each case is at our discretion; there is no legal requirement for us to provide a planning enforcement service at all. However, we take planning enforcement very seriously. The power to correct breaches of planning control allows us to protect the quality of life for the people who live, work and visit Tendring and the quality of the district’s built and natural environment. This planning enforcement policy sets out how we will run the planning enforcement service and what you can expect from it. Specifically it covers: what is a breach of planning control? how you can request an investigation; how we prioritise investigations; how we will carry out an investigation, how we will keep you informed and the service standards; what you can do if a request for an investigation is made about your development; a list of enforcement actions we can consider; and a list of contacts for further information.
